Veeam and Lenovo have signed a new global partnership that will deliver 'intelligent' data management for Lenovo software-defined infrastructures.

The collaboration will enable customers to purchase Veeam Intelligent Data Management solutions with Lenovo infrastructure and SAN offerings directly from Lenovo and its resellers in a single transaction.

Both Veeam and Lenovo believes this will create a 'one-stop shop' for accelerating digital transformation, with the technology combination simplifying IT provision, mitigating risk and delivering first-class data management.

According to a statement, 'Veeam’s integration with Lenovo solutions provides organisations with a broad range of choice and flexibility to deliver availability, IT simplicity, scalable performance, operational efficiency and accelerated innovation for the Hyper-Available Enterprise'.

"Lenovo’s decision to resell Veeam Intelligent Data Management and Availability solutions with their offerings reflects Veeam’s market momentum and leadership," said Peter McKay, President and co-CEO of Veeam. "It's a prime example of two technology leaders collaborating to provide the most seamless and efficient sales and deployment process for its partners and customers. Lenovo’s global reach and extensive partner ecosystem, combined with the strong growth of its Data Center Infrastructure (DCI) and Software Defined Infrastructure (SDI) business units, provides Veeam customers with the best purchasing experience."

John Majeski, leader of Software and Solutions business at Lenovo Data Centre Group, added: "Veeam’s strong track record of innovation combined with their focus on creating a great user experience aligns with our customer-first approach. This alliance further enables us to provide an effortless customer experience and relevant solutions to our customers.
